Travels Back in Time
Time Bonus changes during the run, quickly rising to 5x within the first 3 hours, then slowly progressing towards 20x at 24 hours mark, from this point onwards the multiplier will stop rising .
Early Game:
Best strategy is to do quick 3 hour runs if your active, that should be enough time to reach the highest zone and maximize the other bonuses.
Mid Game:
When you start generating some armies by converting prisoners, it will be better to take advantage of the army bonus by bringing the Time Bonus to its maximum (24 hours)
Late Game:
When converting prisoners will give you easily 750 armies you should always do 24hr runs. To take the most out of it you should wait until you reach the zone required to unlock Light Years Bonuses.

Prisoner Droprate
You need to actually kill an ss4 ship when you trigger the drop to get 4th race prisoner. It’s very much luck based, but in theory going to further ss4 planets give you more ss4 ships, so a bigger chance.
The droprate in the long run is still trending heavily towards the ss1 drops, even in later galaxies where you always have all 24 ships.

FAQ’s
What’s the Best Time to Do a Light Year Reset (Travel Back in Time)?
Before BH8, 3 hour is the king. Just do 3-hour runs (or longer) repeatedly. After BH8, you can start trying 24-hour runs with 750 army creation after some initial burn-in runs.
Why I can’t get Prisoner 3 (Anunnachy) or Prisoner 4 (Misiks)?
To get Prisoner 3, you need to reach at least Easy Galaxy 1 Solar System 3 (1-1-3-1-1), and for Prisoner 4, at least Easy Galaxy 1 Solar System 4 (1-1-4-1-1). If you have already reached these stages, it’s just due to randomness.
In the long run, each higher prisoner has a 1/4 probability of appearing compared to the previous one without QuadPrisoners. Just be patient.
Where’s the Main Game Boost in the Minerals Game?
You will unlock the Main Game boost after reaching Hard mode.
Where should I use my Mech Tokens?
It depends on your strategy, but I suggest using them on the 9th upgrade in Mech #1, #2, and #3 (you will have three free tokens, third one is available when you unlock Hard mode). This requires the most pity kills and is the highest stage to farm.
You can also use them on the last upgrade in each Mech to complete the Mech and unlock the permanent multiplier upgrade for Mech.
Note: Finishing Mech #1 is the rocket at the beginning.
What can I do if I think I am slow?
There are some great jumps through the journey, try to reach the nearest in the following:
- Permanent Multiplier Upgrade for Mech: Available in Citizens Upgrades (after Mech farming to complete all 9 upgrades in one Mech).
- Unlock Energy: Available after reaching Normal mode.
- Reach level 440/890: If shields are a barrier for you.
- Check for New Upgrades: See if there’s a new upgrade unlocked after each BH reset.
